Kat ordered her ants for her Antworks before she went away on holiday and they arrived yesterday so I had to become their mother for a few days before her return. They arrived in a small test tube and I was worrying how I was going to get them into their new home without them escaping. After reading the instructions I put them in the fridge for 15min this stops them being so active which makes it easier to transport them over.

 

As you can see from this picture I had a bit of a struggle keeping all the ants in and in the end I gave up trying to take the blue cloth out, I decided to leave it in until the ants have settled in.

This morning when I got into work they had already started to burrow and make a new home towards the bottom of the tank. I will update you tomorrow!

Take care!
